In the appended post about yesterday’s events in Quitman,
George Rhynes cites the
WCTV
and
WALB
stories.
Curiously, the nearest local daily newspaper,
the Valdosta Daily Times, seems to have nothing online about this.

At 8:30 AM, I began receiving phone calls from Quitman, Georgia
in the County of Brooks where the County
Sheriffs Office was arresting citizens at random concerning the recent
Absentee Ballot Problems.

These arrests reminded me of the alleged problems Black Voters/Citizens have
had with the GBI harassing them during their investigation before and during
the last run off election.
This included alleged actions by the GBI
Investigators that local citizens complained about intimidation before,
during and after the election. However little or no Public Media
Attention was given to alleged Black Voter intimidation by local media.
Moreover, little to nothing was published in the
FREE PRESS surrounding citizen’s fear from GBI Investigators. This was a
major point of discussion when I along with a local Pastor from Valdosta,
Georgia walked the streets to get a better understanding of what
Brooks County Voters had to go through during the last election.
